John is about to go on an adventure to learn about 3D backgroundsMeet JohnChange in Storyexample:https://prezi.com/9rseqn0i8kwa/curiosity-mars-rover-landing-sequence/https://prezi.com/bo3yzmv4og_h/celebrity-thanksgiving-prezipes/Easter Eggsexample:Go to "Advanced" under the Customize menuThe second background fades in when you zoom about a third of the way into the prezi& the third when you zoom in just as farAdding Atmospherehttps://prezi.com/10oay6qapdgr/canvas-my-campus-contest-a-hogwarts-harry-potter-example/example:Subtle Visual EffectA simple atmospheric background can add a subtle sense of environment, or even invoke a mood or feeling in your prezi.By subtly changing the color or texture of a background, you can add some slight movement or interest to your prezi without causing any distraction. You can use different backgrounds to indicate a change in your story, whether it be between locations, topics, or sections. This is a an easy way to create a metaphor in your presentation.Or you can get creative and use it to hide special surprises and secrets within your Prezi.Avoid placing content on a transition between two backgrounds.

It's meant to enhance your content, not distract from it.3Avoid this by keeping frames within the edges of the background.If you zoom into a frame and the background edges are still visible, you may just have to move the frame inward a bit.3000 pxIf the images are too small they will become pixelated when you zoom in.This is especially important for your final background because you will be zoomed in very closely on it.1000 px*Busy backgrounds can be acceptable in cases where they are meant to stand alone and not be a backdrop to your content. (ex. change in story)However if you still feel a busy background is necessary make sure you make your content easily readable.`How do you use 3D Backgrounds?
